A revelation... Truly this book opened up vistas with new perspectives and possibilities for me. I recommend it highly.
STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE TEACHING (SMART)
The team of scholars who pulled this collection together have rendered us a great service. . . . Each contributor is a gifted and concise writer. Younger scholars will find much here to expand their own research and thinking; so will graduate students in many fields. The book is especially valuable in its modeling of effective collaboration among interdisciplinary fields.
Magistra
Offers a great variety of places, times and people, and encourages us to adopt new angles of view. It offers us a new perspective, in search of figures of women authors, thinkers, intellectuals. It is now impossible to claim that women did not participate in the cultural and intellectual environment of the Middle Ages.
CAHIERS DE CIVILISATION MÉDIÉVALE
The readers will find it helpful to have the introductory sections focus on the wider methodological framework and scholarship for each of the approaches taken, while the didactic setup makes this book an ideal tool for teaching purposes. The overall introduction and epilogue are superb in setting the scene, warning of pitfalls, and identifying new avenues of research. Above all, they remind the reader that the women discussed in this volume constitute probably only the tip of an iceberg and for this reason they encourage us to continue digging in archives and libraries to identify more of them.
Church History
Women Intellectuals and Leaders in the Middle Ages is an impressive volume of essays that ranges across academic disciplines, countries, time periods, and sources in order to contribute to key debates about women's history and role in intellectual life throughout the medieval period. The editors, Kathryn Kerby-Fulton, Katie Ann-Marie Bugyis, and John Van Engen, set out to "tak[e] early women intellectuals and leaders seriously," as the title of Kerby-Fulton's introduction puts it, and in this aim it absolutely succeeds.
Journal of British Studies
Die Aktualität des Bandes resultiert aus der Verknüpfung von Bildung und Gelehrsamkeit ma. Frauen mit der Frage nach weiblicher 'agency' und Handlungsfeldern, die auf Patronage, Leitungskompetenz und kirchliche Funktionen sowie Führungsfunktionen in weltlichen Kontexten ausgerichtet sind.
(The relevance of this volume lies in its connection of medieval women's education and scholarship with questions of female 'agency' and spheres of activity, focusing on patronage, leadership skills, and ecclesiastical roles, as well as leadership functions in secular contexts.)
DEUTSCHEN ARCHIV
It provides a clear path forward for scholars working at the intersections of gender, power, leadership, and the history of ideas to do so by reinscribing the historically occluded presence and influence of women in these areas of cultural influence and impact.
